Ho Chi Minh City, Hồ Chí MinhAges 18–80 - NCT06203600RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nivolumab plus standard treatment for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug nivolumab to standard treatment works better for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has already progressed after a first round of chemo plus immunotherapy.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06113016RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing frailty with fisetin and exercise in breast cancer survivors
This study tests whether adding a supplement called fisetin to an exercise program can help prevent frailty in women who have finished chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. If you are postmenopausal, have completed chemo within the last year, and can walk a certain distance, you may qualify.
Alhambra, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06128252Recruiting
Taurine with chemotherapy and immunotherapy for gastric cancer
This trial tests whether adding taurine to standard chemo-immunotherapy before surgery helps treat locally advanced gastric cancer. It may be an option for patients whose tumors are PD-L1 positive and can be fully removed with surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05850130Recruiting
Acupuncture for nerve pain after colon cancer treatment
This trial tests whether acupuncture can relieve the nerve pain and tingling in the hands and feet that often occurs after treatment with oxaliplatin, a chemotherapy drug for gastrointestinal cancers. The study aims to help people manage this side effect and improve their daily comfort.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05677490RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy for advanced stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy combinations, with or without an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab, for people with advanced stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see which treatment works better and if adding immunotherapy helps.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05595499RecruitingPhase 2
Fisetin for better walking and strength in breast cancer survivors
This study tests whether fisetin (a natural compound) can improve physical function, like walking ability, in breast cancer survivors who feel frail. It may help strengthen muscles and improve daily activity after treatment.
Alhambra, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05514769Recruiting
Surgery type comparison for early-to-mid stomach cancer
This trial compares two different stomach cancer surgeries after removing the tumor, to see which works better for patients with stomach adenocarcinoma. It may help determine the safest approach and best recovery outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18–85 - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 40–75 - NCT05269381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer vaccine with pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your tumor's unique markers, combined with the drug pembrolizumab, to help your immune system fight cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT04943484Recruiting
ICG camera dye test during surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests whether an “ICG” dye and special camera can help surgeons see cancer more clearly during surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may help improve how safely and accurately surgeons remove the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT04871412RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery care program for lung or upper GI cancer patients
This trial tests an “integrative” support program around the time of cancer surgery to see if it improves care and outcomes for people having surgery for lung, stomach, or esophagus cancer. It may help by adding extra structured support during the peri-operative (around-surgery) period.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can improve pain and other day-to-day symptoms in people with certain gastrointestinal cancers. You’d use VR for pain relief while researchers measure how you’re feeling.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT04575935RecruitingPhase 3
Minimally invasive surgery after chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether doing surgery using smaller incisions after chemotherapy works as well as a more traditional approach for certain people with stage IIIC–IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help reduce surgical trauma while aiming for effective tumor removal.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04329494RecruitingPhase 1
Study of targeted drug delivery into the abdomen using PIPAC
This Phase 1 trial tests PIPAC, a way to deliver anti-cancer medicine directly into the abdomen using a minimally invasive procedure. It is for people with peritoneal spread from certain cancers to see whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04221893Recruiting
Radiation therapy for metastatic gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to your current immunotherapy can help control cancer that has spread in the digestive system. It aims to improve symptoms and possibly slow the cancer's growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03823144Recruiting
Imaging small live tumor details during surgery
This study uses a special camera to look at solid tumors from inside the body during an operation. It tests whether “live” tumor imaging (using a medicine called fluorescein) can be safely performed in people with certain solid cancers.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03551951Recruiting
Testing cancer cells and DNA in blood, urine, and bone marrow
This study looks for cancer-related cells and DNA in samples like blood, urine, and (for some) bone marrow. The goal is to see whether these tests can help detect or track solid cancers with minimal added procedures.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT03161522RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo alone versus with radiation or surgery for limited spread
This study tests whether adding radiation or surgery to chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people whose esophageal or stomach cancer has spread to only a few places. If your cancer is “oligometastatic” (up to 3 spots), the trial helps doctors see which approach gives the best control.
